After my clients would select a loan program I would tell them who we were dealing with, "this loan is through Lincoln Services who will be buying you/or funding your loan" or whom ever or, I'd tell them it's our portfolio loan made by us/me.You may have to pay some fees up front in a commercial loan, get a break down of each fee and where the money goes and who performs the services required.Under the SAFE Act, a broker may not charge a fee for themselves, but they can collect appraisal, credit report or other third party charges necessary to process the loan.This goes to show that borrowers need to do their due diligence on lenders as much as lenders check out a borrower, especially if you're not walking into a bank.Sorry to hear your situation, good luck with the matter
